Patent number: 8216342Abstract: A method for producing membranes which contain at least one solid layer on one side of a porous substrate by treating the side of the support, which is to be coated, with a synthetic solution that forms the solid layer. The inventive method is characterized in that the space located behind the side of the porous support, which is not to be coated, is filled with an inert fluid during the production of the solid layer on the porous support, “behind” being from the perspective of the support. The pressure and/or the temperature of the fluid is/are selected such that the synthetic solution is essentially prevented from entering in contact with the side of the porous support, which is not to be coated.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Stefan Bitterlich, Hartwig Voβ, Gunter Schuch, Armin Diefenbacher, Manfred Noack, Ronald Schäfer, Ingolf Voigt, Hannes Richter, Jürgen Caro
